Re: My Pickelhaube

Thank you for weighing in Adler. I will definitely be looking for a chin strap if I cant find the original but I am sure I have the strap hardware somewhere. If not, I will purchase a replacement. What about the cord for the interior leather flaps of the liner? Should this be something I might need? Also, the cockades with this helmet, what do they indicate? Can you or anyone on the group, estimate a value for this helmet?

Re: My Pickelhaube

Sounds good. I do understand why you dpont offer such info. The information thus far has greatly educated me on the piece I have and its history. If there is anything additional, please let me know. Thank you all.

Re: My Pickelhaube

Hello all,

I just noticed a number on the neck guard of my helmet. With the helmet upside down, in the right corner of the guard, next to the helmet itself, is an ink stamped number "54". Does this number mean anything?

Re: My Pickelhaube

Well, I have decided to let this helmet go. Knowing what we do now from these replies and the photos, if anyone on this list would be interested, I would like to sell it for the right offer. Plese send a private message if you are interested. Thank you all for the replies and the abundance of helpful information.
